Abstract:
A model of the G-3 is introduced which has a transparent structure including a simple but analytically tractable supply side. New optimising techniques are used to conduct extensive policy experiments on this multicountry model (including full Nash solutions and a fully cooperative solution). In the case of a fiscal shock originating in theUS, we find evidence of significant spillovers to other countries, which can only be ameliorated in the fully cooperative regime.
